Hi List.
I'm trying to track down a memory corruption when using the following
/tmp/bb $ touch a b
/tmp/bb $ find . -type f -exec rm -rf -- {} \;
/tmp/bb $ touch a b c
/tmp/bb $ find . -type f -exec rm -rf -- {} \;
rm: invalid option --
BusyBox v1.9.0 (2008-01-25 14:43:46 GMT) multi-call binary
Usage: rm [OPTION]... FILE...
Remove (unlink) the FILE(s). You may use '--' to
indicate that all following arguments are non-options.
Options:
-i Always prompt before removing each destination
-f Remove existing destinations, never prompt
-r,-R Remove the contents of directories recursively
/tmp/bb $
This doesn't happen all the time either, just to make matters worse.
It does seem though that the more files -exec works on, the higher
chance of this happening.
Interestingly, it appears to be just affected with builtin commands as
find . -type f -exec /bin/rm -rf -- {} \;
works just fine.
Any pointers, or more information I can give to fix this are welcome :)
Thanks
Roy
